We see these around our house every year. I don't mind them because they eat other insects, but I just don't like to be near them.
It's cute!#8: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Aug 24, 2010

Cool puzzle and image#13: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Aug 27, 2010 [SPOILER]
How coincidental....I was walking toward my car at lunch hour today and came across three boys discussing how to get their ball out from under a bush. When I inquired what the problem was, they pointed out the 6 inch long praying mantis sitting in the bush. We managed to get the ball out without disturbing the mantis. Great puzzle and a cool insect.#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 29, 2010
Great puzzle, Gator. So satisfying to solve.#15: Jan Wolter (jan) on Oct 12, 2010
Cool story, Carol.
Another breath-taking puzzle. My brother just posted a snap shot of a mantis to facebook today. He's been a champion critter finder since childhood and has taken to photographing them all in recent months.#16: Gator (Gator) on Oct 12, 2010
